The actual fresh Karpathy content is his Feb 21 thread on "Claws" — buying a Mac Mini to tinker with agent runtimes, with a pointed security critique: "Giving my private data/keys to 400K lines of vibe coded monster that is being actively attacked at scale is not very appealing at all." He prefers NanoClaw (~4,000 lines, "manageable, auditable, flexible") and lists alternatives: nanobot, zeroclaw, ironclaw, picoclaw. When the person who coined "vibe coding" warns that vibe-coded software is a security nightmare, that carries extraordinary weight. The lobster emoji is solidifying as the category's informal identifier. Karpathy on X | Willison's amplification
